Overwintering: Practices for pacing, hibernating and idling

Jules Davis Dufayard (alum, Ecologies of Transformation, 2021–2023) is the curator of Overwintering: Practices for pacing, hibernating and idling at Studium Generale, KABK, together with Angela Jerardi (tutor, Rietveld Academie). The programme also includes Sandberg Instituut alumni Lina Bravo-Mora (alum Ecologies of Transformation, 2021–2023), Mayomi Basnayaka (alum Studio for Immediate Spaces, 2021–2023), Sankrit Kulmanochawong (alum Gerrit Rietveld Academie), and Angelo Custodio (alum Master of Voice, 2016–2018).

"Studium Generale is an academy-wide platform for second year students at KABK that is intended to expose you to relevant discourses and dialogues occurring within and adjacent to art and design practices. Each cycle focuses on a specific topic or theme organized by a curator/researcher.

Semester 2, Overwintering, curated by Jules Davis Dufayard and Angela Jerardi brings together artistic and academic contributions to learn from crip time, carework, and mutual aid, and asks us to connect these practices to more-than-human livelihoods. Thinking through chronopolitics, Overwintering will reflect on ideas of slowness and idleness both in a potentially liberating or anticapitalist frame, in which bodies do not behave and resist capture, but also through debility, chronic illness and the obscuring capacities of slow violence. The daily activity book & reader is intended as a tool to attune ourselves to the seasonal time of late winter, to encourage students to intentionally slow down and make space for rest."
